No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

I just wanted to let you know that I did reply to their email.
I basically said that I found it very unprofessional to not even put the name of the company in the email. I also told them that 6.5 cpl is a very low rate and I could not live on that and feed my child. I told them that with the amount of experience I have, that was an insult. I also let them have it about not paying for spaces. I was professional in my email, but I believe I made them understand that they are barking up the wrong tree and that their payment practices are an insult to all MTs.
I got a reply to the email I sent to management s/m
so for now I'm going to hang tight. Most likely continuing to post on the boards without asking management for an explanation is counter productive. I always believe in going directly to the horse's mouth for info. Good luck to all.
You did better than me - I applied and sent a FU email but no reply. nm

Their web site is dated 2002. I never got an email reply when I sent one within

Nope to your answer, strange no reply to email
Had nothing to do with anything except being called management on here. Seems like it is either being called management which I am not, inept which I am not, so on and so on but really did not expect anyone to answer the email, people just like to throw out nonsense.
Only one way to find out, either call or email them and ask. nm

What can they possibly find to email about all day?

Find the root file and send by email? ...sm
There should be a directory for it - that's what you will need to send to the tech for conversion. Good luck!
Wow! That's pretty darned thorough!
Good job on that list! I have nothing to add but a lot of stuff in there I would have NEVER thought to ask---you so smaht! (That's a nod to my Bostonian/Kennedy accent).
I'm a MT and a darned good one. A company
isn't looking for a computer programmer who also knows MT, nor are they paying a salary to compensate such person. I am not computer illiterate, and even the IT guy at my company was impressed with my knowledge, but I'm not a computer person, nor to I claim to be, but I'm a good MT. I don't think any company should have an IT person available 24/7 for general computer issues, but I believe that the company should be responsible for setup of the software and the training on how to use it.
That is the darned truth. It's dying. Trying sm
to find the perfect company, just like the one from 1985 or 1995? They don't exist. THEY WENT BROKE. So quit trying and get the heck out now. There are so many careers out there that any MT is more than capable of pursuing.
And if they're *pretty darned good* right now,
when you and you coworkers fix it so they're PERFECT, who's going to be editing these reports then?
Perhaps a better question is from what country will these people be editing these reports?
The work is pretty darned heavy now!

Their web address is www.sten-tel.com.
The Sten-Tel in Springfield, MA
They do not use a service. Payroll is done in house. They do not mail out paperwork if you just made an inquiry. I also encourage you to list the address of the company you are referring to.
It's not right to mislead people into thinking the wrong company pays late when they do not.

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM

I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!

I suppose someone could twist the post I put on the company forum as tattling. However, I dont see how. My post simply asked what the posts on MT stars were about. I really don't think I need to "alert" anyone to anything as millions of MTs come to this forum daily. Also, as some disgruntled ex-Transcenders said, their words not mine, Larry scans these boards regularly himself.
Another thing, I at least tried to go to the source and find out some information about what the OP was saying about unfair treatment, unfair pay and such between newbies and long-termers at Transcend. I wanted to know what the person was talking about since she wasnt going to explain herself. At least, I took it where it belonged in the first place, the company. Of course, there was never a reply as that person isn't able to post using her name.
Thank you for your post trying to divert the attention on to me instead of the issue at hand. If you are leaving or have left, why are still bothered by what I say?
My reply to your reply to my reply, lol
Michelle,
All I meant was that we could BOTH could be construed as troublemakers, depends on how you look at it.
You could also look at it that you were confronting people there at the company and trying to get them to talk about these things where you think it belongs.
There's a history, here, Michelle, that you're not aware of about why people won't talk about certain things on that forum, and you're not sure if they've already TRIED talking to management about it and got nowhere, you assume too much.
You're waltzing in here like you have controlling interest (hahaha, no pun intended) in Transcend and think you know how things should go, ignoring that there might be a history of why people are afraid to talk.
Really, though, it's not your job to try force people to answer any of your questions, here or anywhere else.
I applaud your courage to confront people about their claims, but learn when to leave it alone, that there may be a history that you weren't a part of, you weren't there yet, and people just want to commune to share experience and get a reality check.
And I'm sorry, I don't believe your only motivation was to get people talking about these issues where you think they belong.
There are some that have never even heard of this board and your post directed them here and stirred up a flurry of activity and I think you knew it would. So I hate to tell you this, but you've alerted several people to the complaints by bringing them here.
As IF it's any of your business, I have not finished my notice with them, Michelle, and was toiling whether I had done the right thing initially. I'm not about to leave anyone high-and-dry.
Let's see where you are in about three years, Michelle, you're going to be something else to deal with...Transcend better keep you on their good side.
Thanks for the reply (sm)
Do you currently work for them? If so, could you please share a little bit of information about them? Do you know what their line rate is?
Thanks for your help!

okay you got it...thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
And thank you for your honesty. That is very much appreciated!
REPLY TO Hi LEE. from KS
I AM NOT AFRAID TO POST MY REAL NAME!!
To set the record straight... I posted on here because I spoke from my heart which is the TRUTH about what I think from MY perspective on the companies that I have worked for in the past, just to give someone else some insight.... NO ONE from Keystrokes put me up to this, Not Lee OR Becky... OR not management of any kind, form or shape....
I just wanted to express how I felt about working for Keystrokes as I have worked for MANY nationals out there and anyone can e-mail me OR phone me and I will send you my credentials/resume to let you know this is NOT Lee!!! I think KEYSTROKES ROCKS!! 
Kim Drietz Lake Benton, MN 612-486-9935 I'm not afraid to post my name.. BIG DEAL!! I will get off my  now!!!

IN REPLY TO TT MT
Not only I have been transcribing since the ice ages but I have been with TT longer than 1 year. I have worked on many platforms and have been paid hourly, salarly, by the minute, by the line, and by characters so I too am familiar with different aspects of different line counts and I have never had a problem with TT before but I do now and now is my concern. I am not trying to badmouth TT because I have no problems with TT I just don't understand my line count and Debbie doesn't understand it either. My only question has been and still is "is there someone out there who have worked with this platform and know how this line count "really" works?" and if that is a question you can answer for me or if there is some kind of formula you have that you can make me understand it since you seem to know that your counts are correct then I would really appreciate it because after all thats all I am asking for.

How pathetic can you get? You need your husband's permission to post? My life is great - you need to save your pity for your poor pathetic self....if your husband says it's okay, that is. Adios!
Now that reply is really
Really not worth a reply. This "old hag" bets you're a 20-year-old stud, sitting there in your birthday suit, doing OB/GYN notes and getting your delights. Sheesh, yourself.
Never got a reply

Thank you for your reply

Could you expand on this? Why should I run and not look back? If I'm going to run, I need more info than that. LOL
